Unintended acceleration in reverse while backing out of parking space in a parking lot. The vehicle accelerated very fast, resulting in extensive damage to vehicle and two other parked vehicles.
From a stopped position, acceleration hesitates between 2nd and 3rd gear. It does not do it when slowing and then accelerating. Unsafe for pulling into traffic.
My Toyota Camry 2012 SE has 80,000 miles on it and it started to do a hard shift into second gear that resulted in me needing a new transmission. I see online that a lot of people are having transmission issues with their 2012 Camry. I can't believe this hasn't been recalled already"!"! I take very good care of my car and have always enjoyed owning a Toyota but now I have lost faith in the quality of the brand. If Toyota doesn't fix this problem and I then I am done with Toyota.
My Toyota when I go 40 miles to 60 between it starts to shake and vibrate when I push the gas not stops so if I had to guess just a little bit starts to shutter more starts to shake and then she just pisses me off I owe $13,000 on this car right now I'm definitely going to take it back and see what's going on but by reading all the problems that you guys have and you guys win big and nobody fixed it I don't think they're going to do anything about my car they should do a recall I'm disappointed in Toyota I usually love Toyota report abuse
Automatic door lock and unlock stops working. My car had just passed 60K when the driver side door will not open or lock by pressing the key fob. After couple month all 4 doors have the same issue. I have to lock and unlock all 4 doors by manually unlocking using the key. After research found out the door actuators have failed on all 4 doors and multiple Toyota and Lexus owners are experiencing the same issue.

I have 2012 Toyota Camry that has a vibration issues while driving. This seems like a the vehicle is about to fall off the road. I search it online and it seems like almost everyone that has a 2012 to 2014 Camry has the same issues. Please help.
While driving on any road ( highway, city street, ect.) at between 25 and 45 mph. The transmission shuders. This from my research shows that there is a massive manufacture defect in the tourque converter as well as the ECU. This could and will cause major transmission issues. This should and needs to be a mandatory recall.
Vehicle shutters at 30-45 mph when accelerating and the foot is taken off the gas. If you hit the gas and speed up or slow down enough, it stops, but it seems to be getting worse and worse. Started at just 45mph, now happens at 30 and 35 mph as well. In reading other forums, there doesn't seem to be a fix for this. Some have been told a computer upgrade, but that was only temporary and it came back worse.
Glare from the dashboard under certain sun angles completely obscures vision through the windshield. At times we are forced to drive at a crawl. In one instance, we almost ran into a flagperson who was standing in the road directing traffic around a work crew.
I bought my 2012 Toyota Camry in may of this year and it's was great until the cold weather hit yes antifreeze problem started slowly loosing antifreeze and now inside of car stinks antifreeze. I real lise must be a heater core problem. Did anybody else had this problem and I believe the warranty is done. So much on average does is cost to fix this problem.
Sunroof glass exploded. While driving on the highway coming home, we heard a loud explosion from above. We thought something had dropped from the sky and fell on our car. The sunroof had shattered and glass was falling onto us as I was driving. I had to drive about 5 miles(going about 40 mph) until I was able to exit the highway. Upon observation there was a huge hole in the sunroof with glass continuing to fall as I continued to drive home.
Took my car to Toyota to diagnose, it felt as if it was downshifting when I was driving! they said they did a test drive as well as diagnostic on it! everything is good they said! I drive off the lot and the problem persisted! I took it to another mechanic when the problem wasn't getting better, worried because I drive my 2 little girls everywhere! and lo and behold it's the transmission! which I then drove back to mountain states Toyota and then they confirmed! according to several mechanics it's a fault in the Toyota transmission that they will not admit to! of coarse! Toyota persisting to get us out when confronted, managers cussing, so on and so forth! they then proceeded to lie to me and tell me I haven't been in sense 95,000 lol when I was just in within that month with this same problem! more lies! now I am almost positive they have poured something down my transmission to thicken the fluid as a temporary fix! they had my car in the shop for 2 hours me thinking they were just doing a diagnostic on it! they know there is a problem they will just not admit it, and are putting people in danger! this is not right! there are macanics working for Toyota knowing this is a problem but can't do anything because they are afraid to lose their job! I have been the only owner of my vehicle, and have maintaind it sense I drove it off that lot! only the best love and care thinking this Toyota Camry will be safe and last as long as tho old one that my parents got from the auction that just recently finally hit the bed! stand up and fight if it's not right! and that's what I'm doing! please go to a mechanic asap! Toyota will lie and tell you it's the torque converter first but it is the transmission and they know it, they will make their money while you and your children are driving around in a vehicle that has a fault in the transmission!!!
Door locking/unlocking failing. I have replaced 3 out of 4 parts to repair the problem over the last 2 years. In an emergency situation, as an example, where you need to get your child out of the car, the locks could fail.
My son was turning a corner and his Camry accelerated out of control causing him to go over a median, damaging the car. The accident was on 2/18/17. The vehicle was towed to Toyota that same day. Toyota motor company was contacted on Monday 2/20/17. An independent investigation report shows the acceleration. This report was received 3/24/17. Today is 5/3/17 and we still have not heard anything from Toyota as to the investigation or safety of the vehicle. The Toyota dealership will not touch the vehicle until the parent corporation tells them it is ok. We are getting the run around. Every time I call they say it will be another 30 days, you will receive a call or you will receive something in the mail. It has been almost 3 months with no resolution. We don't want to get attorney's involved but what else can we do" we have consulted with an attorney but would prefer for Toyota to just do the right thing. Can you assist"
Sunroof glass exploded. While driving on the highway yesterday, my wife and I heard a loud explosion from above. We thought something had dropped from the sky and fell on our car. Then I noticed in my rear view mirror of glass falling off the back windshield. The SUV following behind me was changing lanes to avoid the glass. Then I opened the sunroof visor and glass was falling onto us. We exited off the highway and saw a gaping hole in the sunroof. The hole was gaping outward as if the explosion come from inside.
Driver side sunvisor fell down, it hits your forehead while you drive. There was a recall on this, however my VIN number does not match the VIN numbers that are being recalled.
